ooh, Claude Rains - a tiny recommendation, Phantom of the Opera (1943). He plays the titular role (and it's one of my favorite versions). That version also has a different ending to the Phantom/Raoul/Christine triangle (or in this case square because there's a third male involved - but the Phantom angle is played differently due to spoilers)

Ooh, okay! Thank you, I'll try that next.

(I'm watching The Wolf Man at the minute, which is causing a couple of odd moments because 5'6" Claude Rains as the dad and 6'2" Lon Chaney Jr as the kid, though apparently Lon Chaney Sr was only 5'7"-ish as well. It just looks a bit odd.)

Claude Rains as the Phantom anon:

obviously Larry gets the height from his late mother, ::snicker::

oh! And one more movie recommendation: Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn is Robin Hood). He plays Prince John in that. (This has an epic duel scene between Robin and Sir Guy [aka Sherlock Holmes aka Basil Rathbone])

:D I have already watched Robin Hood, on the grounds of a) swashbucklers, and b) Basil Rathbone, who is an excellent reason to watch pretty much anything. I've kind of loved watching Rathbone since The Court Jester as a very young kid.

Claude Rains as Phantom anon:

ooh, never saw The Court Jester - any good?

and another swashbuckler rec if you're interested: Scaramouche ('52). Stewart Granger as titular character.
And the most epic sword fight ever - starting here: https://youtu.be/B3X4N0SpF2g?t=3m18s

Court Jester is one of those movies that I absolutely can't be objective about because it's part of my childhood, but absolutely everyone is having fun in it, and if you like Danny Kaye, Angela Lansbury or Basil Rathbone it's a hell of a show. Also the tongue twisters are hilarious, anything to do with the witch Griselda is amazing, and the Rathbone vs Kaye swordfight is both amazingly funny and rather impressive. I just, I adore this movie, I seriously can't be objective at all.

I haven't gotten around to watching the entire movie of Scaramouche, but I've seen the climactic sword fight, because I adore swashbucklers. I wish I knew more about fencing, because from what I've heard that fight is one of the best when it comes to real moves.

I think one of my favourite movie swordfights is this one from Mark of Zorro ('40), because it really looks like Rathbone and Power are honestly trying to kill each other dead:
